[PHP-DB] Re: Count unique visits in PHP/MySQL

2004-06-10 Thread Rui Cunha
take a look at this: 

http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/04-mar/o24asktom.html 

and search for the Analytics to the Rescue example. Instead of 3 seconds 
you want 1800 and instead of sum you want count.Don't forget to group by 
ip,of course... And you're done. No need for an extra table. 

Hope it helps you out.

So my logic to solve it : 

Update the online table like this (Some rough coding below, not tested at
all, read the logic).
30 minutes = 60sec*30 = 1800 

1delete from online where timestamp . (time() - 1800); // Delete
inactive users / uniqe ghosts or whatever
2Update online set timestamp = ' . time() . ' where ip=' . $ip . '
and browsersession = ' . $browsersession . ';
3If (!mysql_affected_rows()){
// Update the Unique visitor table
// Insert new entry with IP, Browsersession and time() into the
online database
} 

As far as my midnight brain would see it this would work nicely.

I am making a PHP/MySQL traffic report page from a table that records some
user activity using PHP referrer information.
I have a table with three rows: IP, page_name, and timestamp. The IP row
records the user's IP address, page_name records the name of the page that
the user loaded, and the timestamp row records in Unix timestamp format the
time of day that the user requested the page.
I want to be able to count unique visits per IP according to Internet
Advertising Bureau standards, which count a Unique Visit as a log in by
the same IP once every thirty minutes.
IAB verbatim definition: Visit - One or more text and/or graphics
downloads from a site qualifying as at least one page, without 30
consecutive minutes of inactivity, which can be reasonably attributed to a
single browser for a single session. A browser must pull text or graphics
content to be considered a visit.
So I need to make a MySQL query that will count how many times an IP
logged a timestamp within a given time period.
For example, the publisher checking traffic could request a date between
May 1 and May 31, and I'd like to be able to return a page that counted
unique users (count distinct IP), pages viewed (list distinct pages) and how
many times they visited in that period. I have the first two down, but not
the unique visits. Any ideas?
